BK> TW> Hispanic, almost NON english speaking, NON union Worker was
BK> TW> a FAR better crafstman than any Featherbedding UNION worker.

BK> Two questions:

BK> One, are you even qualified to make such a judgement.

I sure ijn Hell have soem knowledge o nthe Subject after 20 Years of
observation of Contractor work at the Local VA Medical Hospital.


BK> Two, are you hiring workers for low or minimum wages? There are
BK> some union jobs that are low paid, and if low enough will not
BK> keep qualified workers.

Craftsmanship has NOTHING to do with Wages Paid. It is a matter of
Personal Pride of the Worker.
Although as long as I am talking about having soem "Pride" in ones Work
the UNIONS do their Best to Drive out individual Pride as it makes
the Tyical Lazy UNION Slob look bad.
AND I KNOW that after hearing stories form Co-Workers about how one gets
seriously Harrased and even Threatened if one works too hard or does too
good of a Job.

BK> Add three to that: How can you be sure they are even union
BK> workers. If you are assuming the white US citizen workers are
BK> union, you are very likely wrong. Esp if you pay poorly.

That is informationb necessary in the Bidding process. And despite your
Nay Saying UNION workers WERE REQUIRED for Some Contract Awards.

BK> TW> Goofing off and poor work is like some sort of Plague
BK> TW> amongst Union workers. Even the few best they may have at
BK> TW> one point become infected.

BK> Gooding foo and poor work is like some sort of plague amongst
BK> non-union workers. Union workers tend toward a much higher level
BK> of performance.

ABSOLUTE BULL SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BK> BTW, why would you even tolerate poor work from anyone, union or
BK> not?

I had NO Choice as I* qwas NOT i nthe Loop. I did Compalin Frequently
to no Avail, I suspect becasue of Bribery and Intimidation by the UNION
GOONS.
On Critical projects one had NO choice it was Take it or leave it. IF
one put on to much pressure to do the job right the workers sudden
"Iliness" and didn't show up.

I cannot even count the HOU&RS the Engineering Staff had to expend to
either finmish a Job or to go in and Do it right.
